[Libguestfs] [PATCH 2/2] daemon: use ntfslabel(1) to get ntfs labels

blkid(1) (or actually, libblkid) seems to handle filesystem labels up
to 127 characters. Considering that btrfs labels can be up to 128
characters, this means long labels are not read correctly (i.e. get
truncated) by blkid.  Furthermore, ntfs labels are actually unicode,
and libblkid seems to not decode them correctly.

Hence, if ntfsprogs is available invoke `ntfslabel` to get the label
of ntfs filesystems.

Related to RHBZ#1164708.
